We are expecting Bukayo Saka to start today for England as Gareth Southgate opts for a back four.
England team news: Bukayo Saka to start as Gareth Southgate opts for back fourEngland are expected to face Iran on Monday with a back four and an attacking combination featuring Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka.
Saka and Mount are expected to form part of a four-man attack along with Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane, with Jude Bellingham partnering Declan Rice in central midfield. There was no list of high-profile applicants when Southgate replaced Sam Allardyce in 2016, just months after England had embarrassingly crashed out of the European Championship at the hands of Iceland.
While the 52-year-old has a contract until 2024, there have been some big-name coaches who have said the England job would interest them.
